These Are the Hip Stretches Your Body Needs Stat

To enjoy the full range of motion your hip joint has to offer, it's important to keep the outside of the hip and thigh flexible. This variation on the supine twist really stretches that area.

• Lying on your back, extend your arms out to your sides. Bend your knees, and cross your right leg over your left.
• Slowly rotate your knees to the right, allowing them to come to the floor. It's OK if your left shoulder comes off the floor. Hold for 20 to 30 seconds. Then, slowly bring your knees back to center.
• Reverse directions and twist to the left. Repeat as needed.
